LISTING DETAILS
Opportunity, style, historic value, modern amenities and VALUE are all
things that generally can't be found in one single house. I can't quite
explain the feelings involved with walking in this front door. The
natural woodwork, the history and space are all entirely breathtaking.
This home has undergone a significant renovation in the past several
years culminating into the form that you see now. This home is one of
the single greatest values in the US. At almost 12,000 sq ft, this home
in the Emily Kimbrough Historic District is one of the single most
recognizable homes in Muncie. It has been featured in Magazines,
Television, Movies and local publications. It has been recognized
nationally for it's charm, character and pure value.
A look inside will
reveal a plethora of natural wood, custom paint, professional work and
class mixed with all updated and working mechanical systems. The home
has been well insulated and outfitted with 4 working HVAC units to keep
the home cool/warm and comfortable, all while maintaining a modest
monthly utility bill. It has almost 3300 sq ft of dry basement for
storage and many other uses. Through the dining room you will find a
magnificent kitchen attached to a large walk in pantry. Entertaining. Cozy living. An appeal can rarely be seen in such a combination.
Currently, the home generates its own revenue. It has enough living
space, a large 3rd story featuring a ballroom (workshop) and serves
guests comfortably as an airBnB.
The chance to own a house like this can
truly be said to be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Professional
artisans from around the United States, regionally and locally have all
come together on this home to extract every ounce of details and history
that could possibly be crafted. Don't miss your chance. Don't let this
opportunity pass you by.

LISTING DETAILS
This Mid-Century Modern jewel set on nearly an acre of wooded grounds on
Indianapolis's most sought-after street, has three levels, two
fireplaces, views outside through expansive windows, over 1500 sf of
decks and patios and original lights and woodwork.
Designed for this lot by noted Mid-Century Modern architect John Hirsch,
this home promotes indoor/outdoor living with its views and easy access
points to patios and decks. The neighborhood is beautiful and the
neighbors know and care about one another. The central location allows
you to be in downtown Indianapolis or up in Carmel in fifteen to twenty
minutes. It is located within easy walking distance to Broad Ripple,
with its restaurants and shopping, as well as the Red Line that opens in
September. Situated on a hill less than 1000 feet from the White River,
its woods are often visited by deer and rabbits.
Built in 1954, the house is a prime example of Mid Century Modern
architecture, which gained critical and then popular attention after
World War II. Many traditional elements of MCM architecture are found
here, including a specific design for the hillside lot, open areas (long
before the open concept touted today), soaring and overhanging
rooflines that allow direct sun in winter but only light in summer (long
before todays environmental designs), lots of glass to draw the
outdoors in, moveable walls for various room uses, and multiple access
points to outdoor spaces. It was designed by noted architect John Hirsch
of New Jersey, known for his MCM public buildings in that state. The
use of nineteenth-century bricks adds yet another layer of historical
interest to the home. Correspondence about the house and its multiple
plans are held in the a State Library, the Indianapolis Museum of Art
and by the current owners.
The house has a great deal of history and character. The original
family, leaders in Indianapolis business, religious, and philanthropic
communities, lived there for 52 years. The home, with its open spaces
and easy access to the outdoors, lends itself to entertaining. Indeed, a
single door in the hall closes access to the private portions of the
house, leaving the rest open to visitors. From its two large decks and
three covered stone porches, to its large main floor fireplace and cozy
downstairs fireplace, the home was designed for family, friends and
fun.
Purchased in 2006 by its present owners, the house has seen a facelift
without changing its character. All of the original design elements
remain, including the original Thermador oven and stove (they don't
build them like that anymore!), moveable walls, halls with skylights,
washer and dryer in the kitchen, colorful original laminate tiles,
floating closets and walls repurposing historic bricks. Attention was
paid to new thermal windows and Brazilian teak floors in the living
room, a new marmoleum floor in the kitchen (returning to the historic
green that was found below layers of linoleum), replacing woodwork
around the house, replacing an old deck with a large cantilevered deck
in keeping with the style and opening up the overgrown lot to the south
with trails enjoyed by dogs and kids. Updating the property has
resulted in a virtual bird, rabbit, squirrel and deer haven.
Restoring aspects of the 65-year-old historic home required a lot
attention. It has been a labor of love for our family, and it has been a
joy to watch peoples faces the first time they visit. It is a unique
home. There remain a few items to be restored (including the front slate
porch), which is why we have priced it as we have.
